To recognize some of the most outstanding alumni of Texas Tech University, the Whitacre

are given for outstanding achievement both inside and outside the profession. Recipients
have received a degree from the Texas Tech University Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College
of Engineering, are distinguished in their endeavors, have continued interest outside
the field of engineering, and are people of integrity, stature, and demonstrated ability.
In this year, there were five recipients.
